The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey on ‘Woke’ Generation: ‘Will Lead to Misery’

Posted by Mike LaChance on May 06, 2021 15 Comments

Last week, we noted that punk legend Johnny Rotten has soured on the left. Now Roger Daltrey, lead singer for "The Who" is speaking out against woke culture. It's safe to say this is not his generation.

Punk Rock Icon Johnny Rotten Slams Cancel Culture and Calls the Woke Left “Lunatics”

The left has gone so far out of the mainstream and common sense, that some counter-culture icons are starting to sound like conservatives. Former Sex Pistols front man Johnny Rotten made it clear last fall that he was supporting Trump and this is one of the reasons why. The left has gone off the rails.

Trump Campaign Trolls Kamala Harris, Reserves Ticket to VP Debate for Tupac Shakur

I actually l-o-l-ed at this one. In a CNN interview some time last month, Biden's VP Pick Sen. Kamala Harris was asked “best rapper alive” is and she responded saying "Tupac." She later added that she knew he wasn't alive. Tupac was murdered in 1996....

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 16, 2019 46 Comments

On Friday night Donald Trump tweeted a really funny satirical video created by Twitter user @CarpeDonktum.

The Trump tweet quickly gained almost 50,000 retweets and over 2,000,000 views.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 11, 2019 65 Comments

I've long predicted that the point would come when Democrats, frustrated and forlorn at the mediocre qualities of their primary candidates, would search for a salvation candidate. Think about who have declared so far: Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Amy from Minnesota, Kirsten Gillibrand -- all second tier politicians who will pick up the anti-Trump vote just by being Democrats, but not much more. Tulsi Gabbard is a new face nationally, but has too much Assad baggage. Julian Castro is the guy who had less responsibility as Mayor of San Antonio than Sarah Palin had as the Mayor of Wasilla.
